Tour de France 2020 Favourites stage 14: Classics riders in Lyon

In the middle of the race, which is almost 200 kilometres in length, the riders crest the Monts du Forez and Col du Béal, but the real action is saved for last. Inside the city perimeters of culinary hotspot Lyon the organisation serves the day’s main dish.

The last 15 kilometres of the race include three uphill sections. With 15 kilometres out the riders reach the top of the Côte de la Duchère after a 1.6 kilometres climb at 4.1%. Up next is the Montée de l’Observance, a calf crusher of 500 metres at 10%, before the race continues to the Côte de la Croix-Rousse. The last hill of the trilogy adds up to 1.8 kilometres of climbing at 4.5% before the last 5 kilometres are virtually flat.
